Common objections against Christianity often don't accurately represent God or Christian views. The best defense against this is to know God better.

The July Q&A covered topics such as being a lukewarm Christian, picking up your cross and following Christ, evidence of Israelites in Egypt, the denial of the self, the kalam cosmological argument, Jesus as a recycled myth, and the understanding of morality.

I recently had a conversation on the age of the Earth where referenced Joshua 10 in one of my points. A viewer named In His Image created a video responding to some of my points, and I wanted to take some time to address what he said.

In today's polarized world, Christians often have committed, biblical rationales for very different positions. How do we cultivate better understanding and compassion for those we disagree with?

Our current discipleship model within the church isn't working. In fact, it may even be keeping families from producing mature Christian children.

Ryan Pauly and ApoloJedi discuss what the Bible says about creation, and how to best interpret Genesis 1. Does Scripture support a young earth or an old earth?

Worldviews have a major role in how we look at history, and using a term like "right/wrong side of history" is deeply flawed. Here's why.

Why Christians Are Leaving Their Faith (Dr. John Marriott) by Ryan Pauly Podcast

No longer are questioners satisfied with evidence that Christianity is true. They also want to know if it’s relevant and, most importantly . . . if it’s good. In Christianity Cross-Examined, Kenneth R. Samples boldly steps into the courtroom where Christianity is on trial. Going beyond merely presenting a systematic case for the Christian faith, Samples dives into specific accusations against it, from the conventional (If God created everything, then who created God?) to the controversial (Why doesn’t the Bible condemn slavery?). Does Christianity stand up under cross-examination? You be the judge. Professor Samples is a philosopher, theologian, and senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe, an organization that researches and communicates how the divinely inspired words of the Bible harmonize with reason and the facts of nature. He holds degrees in philosophy, social science, and an MA in theological studies. He is also the author of many numerous books listed below.

Topics include: - Sinning without knowing, and repenting for those sins - The repercussions for unrepentance - Is changing gender like changing hair color? - How can we know if we are living with inward sins? - Helping a non-believer realize their need for Jesus - God's command to kill people for worshiping false gods - The divine council - Jesus's contradictory commands to his disciples Every last Friday of the month at 3 PM PT Here are 3 ways to get your questions answered! 1) SOCIAL MEDIA: Visit the Instagram or Facebook links below and send me the question before we go live. 2) LIVE CHAT: Wait till we go live and put a "Q" at the beginning of your question in the live chat. 3) LIVE CALL-IN: Call into the show by texting your name and question to 714-989-6927.

A skeptic sent me his blog where he argued that skeptics shouldn't debate Christians regarding the evidence for the resurrection because Christians are hopelessly biased. Is this true? I will go through his blog and show where he has misunderstood the role of apologetics in Christianity.

Christianity not only gives meaning and purpose to life, but it also provides the true joy that we deeply desire. Michael Sherrard is senior pastor at Crosspoint Community Church and faculty member at Summit Ministries. He is the author of "Relational Apologetics" and a national speaker specializing in biblical worldview, ethics, and evangelism.

I have recently seen more and more post about morality being decided by looking at the consequences. There are good reasons not to adopt this approach to morality.

Being able to recognize good vs bad bias will help you know the truth and confidently engage in fruitful conversations.
